Lyrics
Don't Mess with Texas (Adamany, Busch, Junceau)
It all went down, I was driving down on Highway 35, I was right on time
I gave a friend a ride, he had a favor could I stop along the drive, he rolled inside
And I drove on home, never knowing there was something going on, I was all-alone
A knock on the door, and in the blink of an eye I was face down on the floor.
Don't mess with Texas, they'll do you good
Don't mess with Texas, that's understood
In dear old Texas where the deal was done
Don't mess with Texas, it aint no fun..
A few years went by, and my lawyer said I was free to go on my way, so I left the state
Never to return, I'll start a brand new life with all these lessons learned, and some fuel to burn
I got a job, met a girl, fell in love, kept it low, paid rent, played it straight, paid my dues, but even so..
I got a letter in the mail from the State of Texas Prison, said the law been changed by a crooked politician, best come on home... wont you come on home
Well I did my time, but now their bringing me back, I don't know why, I thought I paid all my debts, its such a crime.. I gave it my best, for love peace and happiness, and I won't settle for less so..
Don't mess with Texas, they'll do you good
Don't mess with Texas, that's understood
In dear old Texas where the deal was done
Don't mess with Texas, it aint no fun..
I did my time, but now their bringing me back, I don't know why, I thought I paid all my debts, its such a crime.. I gave it my best, for love peace and happiness, and I won't settle for less so..
Don't mess with Texas, they'll do you good
Don't mess with Texas, that's understood
In dear old Texas where the deal was done
Don't mess with Texas, it aint no fun..
